Acquisitions Operations Manager

Acquisitions Operations Manager (Remote) | Build & Own Our Acquisitions Machine Location: Remote (Preference given to candidates located in Central America, South America, or the Caribbean with working hours aligned to U.S. Eastern Time.) Hours: 30–40 hours per week About Us We are a growing U.S.-based self-storage acquisition company focused on acquiring and operating self-storage facilities across the country. Recently, we hired an Operations Manager who completely transformed the operational side of our business. She doesn't just complete tasks... she builds systems, solves problems, improves processes, and takes ownership. The result is a tremendous amount of time and mental bandwidth returned to our leadership team. Now we're looking for the person who can do the same thing for acquisitions. This Isn't an Assistant Position We're not looking for someone who waits for instructions. We're looking for someone who wants to own an entire business function. Our acquisitions process has all the right ingredients... direct mail, seller outreach, lead generation, CRM, property research, and due diligence. What it needs is someone who will bring all of those moving parts together into one organized, consistent, high-performing system. Your job is to make sure opportunities are created, followed up on, researched, organized, and ready for review. If you're energized by building systems, improving processes, solving problems, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks, we'd love to meet you. What You'll Own You will take ownership of our acquisitions pipeline from the moment a lead is generated until it is ready for an investment decision. That includes: -Marketing & Lead Generation -Coordinate direct mail campaigns -Manage mailing vendors, lists, and schedules -Track campaign performance -Coordinate with cold callers and other lead sources -Help identify new acquisition opportunities -Seller Communication -Respond promptly to inbound text messages -Conduct outbound follow-up campaigns -Make qualification calls with prospective sellers -Build relationships with property owners -Keep every lead moving through the pipeline -Ensure no opportunity is forgotten or overlooked -Property Research & Due Diligence -Research ownership and public records -Gather assessor, tax, and market information -Complete preliminary due diligence -Organize acquisition files -Prepare clear, concise deal summaries for leadership review -Process Management -Maintain and improve our CRM -Build systems that improve efficiency -Track key acquisition metrics -Identify bottlenecks and solve them -Continuously improve the acquisitions process Who You Are The ideal person for this role naturally takes ownership. You don't wait to be told what to do. You notice when something isn't working and fix it. You enjoy creating systems. You thrive in organized environments but can also bring order to chaos. You're proactive, detail-oriented, and dependable. You communicate clearly and professionally. Most importantly, you measure success by outcomes... not by simply checking tasks off a list. Preferred Experience We're less concerned with job titles than we are with ownership and problem-solving, but experience in one or more of the following is preferred: Commercial real estate Self-storage Real estate acquisitions Lead management Property research Due diligence CRM management Sales operations Operations management Project management Experience using CRM platforms is a plus. Compensation This position will begin as an hourly role with time tracked through screen-capture software while we build processes, establish workflows, and determine the responsibilities that create the greatest value. Our expectation is that this role will evolve as our acquisitions business grows. We intend to transition from a primarily hourly position to one that includes performance-based and commission incentives tied to the success of the acquisitions pipeline. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with us and build a long-term career... not simply complete hourly work. Time Zone Because this position involves communicating with U.S.-based property owners and collaborating closely with our leadership team, applicants must be available during U.S. Eastern Time business hours. Candidates located in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, or other nearby time zones are strongly preferred. To Apply Please answer the following questions in your proposal: 1-Tell us about a business function or process you completely owned. What improvements did you make, and what were the results? 2-Describe your experience with acquisitions, commercial real estate, self-storage, or lead management. Which parts of the process did you personally own? 3-Imagine you start tomorrow. Direct mail is going out, cold callers are generating leads, sellers are texting us, and deals need to be researched.
